taso - fly
from tawa waso

[wise perch]

context for :
the word sina is the 2nd person pronoun, and ona is a pronoun referring to someone who is addressed. working backwards, we can figure out that -na is a derivational suffix in toki pona used to create pronouns. and so I present:

pona — fourth person pronoun
(<TOK po (four) + -na (derivational suffix marking a pronoun))

this analysis means that toki pona actually means "their language", where the "their" refers to someone never spoken of before

this does unfortunately mean we need to redefine several words:
kana — pronoun referring to who you're in the company of
majuna — pronoun referring to a land to be defined by Sonja Lang
nena — pronoun referring to something in parentheses (see https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1190328276003074188)
ona — pronoun referring to who is addressed
pana — pronoun referring to a bruh moment
pona — fourth person pronoun
sina — pronoun referring to something new
sona — pronoun referring to a consequence
sutopatikuna — pronoun referring to a short platypus
tokana — misspelling of "tokina"
tokina — pronoun referring to a language / speaker / what is spoken

(sorry I keep posting walls of text but it's important to let everyone know the truth: toki pona is in fact a derivational language)

munweka the feeling you get when you make a really good comment and get, like, 3 stars, and then some other conversation starts and suddenly your comment is 200 comments back and no one will ever see it again, and you wonder "hey, maybe I should make that joke again, or at least refer to it in another comment with a link" in the hope that you'll get enough stars to get on the star board, but deep down you know, it's over, it's done.

Oh my god I half expected to be falling for a joke

I peeked at spanishconjugations1

[timber pulsar]

lol

haven't gotten through all the conjugations yet

[outer talon]

that note… was not what i expected

[gleaming ravine]

Oh the 1 means there's more

[timber pulsar]

yep

the first one is just spanishconjugations

talks about infinitive and present tense

spanishconjugations1 is just preterite

actually no not that much i just don't spend it on productive things

hmmm juta would refer more to the unfinished puzzle than a piece of it

v that would be a juta

technically juta by proxy could mean puzzle, mystery, cypher, secret

[jolly bramble]

i would be scared to

[timber pulsar]

(mi tawa tomo lipu la mi ken lukin e lipu)

[jolly bramble]

tawa's a preposition?

[timber pulsar]

nn

i think the ""correct"" way would be "mi tawa tawa tomo lipu" (i go to the book building, one tawa for go, the other for to) but i think people just drop the second tawa

[jolly bramble]

[timber pulsar]

but it would also make sense as a preposition

i think

[feral dome]

tawa

usage

core (pu)

description

going to, toward; for; from the perspective of; moving | ALT (pv.) going to

[jolly bramble]

tawa is a prep

[timber pulsar]

a it's just listed as "going to"

[jolly bramble]

in spanish i'd use ir+a

but in toki pona they're the same word

[timber pulsar]

yeah

[jolly bramble]

ig you could say yo estoy yendo a or smth

yendo is probably spelled wrong

iendo?

[timber pulsar]

i guess if you read it as a prep it would be something like "as for me, from the book building's perspective, i can read books"

[timber pulsar]

i learned it as yendo

[jolly bramble]

well then you are probably right

i never learned the word in formal spanish classes

and never had any use to write it down in my english-dominated life

so i only know it spoken

[timber pulsar]

that's funny

[jolly bramble]

this is correct

[timber pulsar]

i guess so

[jolly bramble]

what else would you say

[timber pulsar]

estoy yendo

[jolly bramble]

AAAAA

that sounds so wrong

[jolly bramble]

that's puesto right

[timber pulsar]

yes

also like puse in preterite

[jolly bramble]

poner is very odd

my dad loves pongo for whatever reason

[timber pulsar]

i think it's a fun word

reminds me of Pingo

and Pingo is objectively a fun word

also i think i forgot to cover a lot of edge cases in my old quotes
ma, mu, and mun would be conjugated the same, as well as ko and kon.

and justifying it with creer/crear would be a bit of a stretch

so i'm not sure what to do

ok spanishconjugations4 is posted

it was straightforward indeed

next is subjunctive lol

[graceful harness]

I am in train of

[timber pulsar]

well, no "built-in" continuous tense

either implied or you specify

[jolly bramble]

subjunctive isn't that aaa

you just change ars to ers

and ers become uh something

[timber pulsar]

ers and irs become ars

[jolly bramble]

that

[timber pulsar]

but the "root" verb you conjugate is the first-person

(also mi la this feels like a rehash of preterite)

[jolly bramble]

i don't use subjunctive enough to know these things lol

[timber pulsar]

(also also dammit they messed with saber again)

[jolly bramble]

ah yes sepa

[timber pulsar]

these are things basically only spanish learners need to learn

[timber pulsar]

yes everyone will instantly recognize that as saber

[jolly bramble]

no but like i don't even speak spanish enough to use subjunctive most of the time

[timber pulsar]

oh i see

ka — toki pona version marker
TL;DR: ka X la Y means Y is a sentence using nasin X
details:

• this is a particle like li or e, but its argument is the nasin that following sentences use
• recommended method is ka X la Y, but something like ka X en Y li Z is good especially in nasin kijetesantakalu
• don't use ka X la Y unless you're using nasin kijetesantakalu or something else where particles can stand on their own
• if a second ka is encountered, it overrides the first one (unless in some kind of parenthesis like pi or te/to)
• you can use your name to mark your personal nasin
  examples:

1. ka pu la mi moku li telo ≈ "the eating-me is washing" (pu style doesn't use extended li)
2. ka ku
3. ka pu la mi jan kin ≈ "I am a person!" (kin is a synonym for a in pu)
4. ka toki Inli, mi tawa esun ≈ "I'm going to trade" (tawa means "to go" and "going" indicates future tense in English and English would use a comma instead of la there)
5. ka nimisin ike la (put anything from this channel here)

nnnn…

i still think this blows a bit

when i joined this server i was mid–learning TP and had a lot of fun just playing with the language and the culture and community history it had built up, and using fun nimisin, and finding weird grammatical analyses and corner cases, and a lot more

and obviously some of that was recency bias from the novelty of not fully understanding TP yet

but it also feels like there have been some post-ku shifts in the server culture

whereas this thread, even though the nimisin aren't exactly practical like the ones i actually experimented with, feels like a place where people keep playing around with all that stuff, and where they weren't hesitant to show appreciation for that

if

either far less fun posts and conversations are happening everywhere else on the server

or people aren't nearly as motivated to star them everywhere else for whatever reason (and i constantly see posts with 5 that everyone just refuses to tip over, i guess)

then maybe part of it is that this thread is slightly cooler than everywhere else,,

and now we aren't allowed to acknowledge it

[tame loom]

i really haven't seen many nimisin in here that aren't jokes, plus this is like intentionally a shitposting thread so i think it's misplaced if they are in here

and especially in the starboard I've genuinely never seen a nimisin from here on there that's like. playing with toki pona in a self serious way

[tame loom]

like if one finds this funny then one finds this funny but it's not really pushing the boundaries of toki pona or anything. it doesn't add anything of substance

[dusky coral]

this saddens me. it feels as if genuinely good word coining is dead

[tame loom]

if someone wants to do good word coining i think the place for it is #sona-musi

[sinful hedge]

yeah it's shitposting
i basically got all the nimisin trained out of me until i started feeling the same disdain for them that others were showing, even though i was having fun with them before
and here is a thread to have fun in a nimisin-adjacent format

[tame loom]

it's not common that i much like a nimisin personally but i do really like talking about them when they're made seriously

[tame loom]

idk I don't see "please stop flooding the starboard with nearly identical shitposts" as having much to do with "please stop flooding the starboard with nimisins" so I don't think this is like a serious issue of server culture or something

people i think are often a little overly mean about nimisin in a kinda dogmatic way that i dislike though and i would like to talk about nimisin more

cos if I don't wanna use a nimisin there's reasons for that and there's good conversation to be had about toki pona from discussing nasin i disagree with. so i don't like being dismissive about nasin, i prefer picking them apart

[sinful hedge]

i wouldn't be surprised if people became unwilling to try after the nimi ku started attracting backlash

feels like i've seen hate for every nimi ku suli but kin and tonsi, and most of these were words that had struck me as legitimately useful at various points in time

and how do you outdo that when the bar seems set so high and you're practically back to square pu in terms of the words people find necessary

so why not just shitpost about the futility of it all instead

why not just go full nimi ale nonsense if that's apparently all nimisinning was ever good for,,

i am at least learning new things about my thoughts on Toki Pona's development by reasoning all this out. that is pona unironically i think

sotrue ‼️

pinimi - to stop talking, a lull in conversation, (momentary) silence | ALT word chain

ex. o pinimi! - stop talking!
pinimi jan la mu pipi li wawa kalama - in the lull of conversation, the insects’ chirps were audible

a pinimi/word chain is when the last syllable of a word is the first syllable of the next

ex. supa pali li lipu pu - the workbench is toki pona: the language of good
since the syllables are repeated, it can also be compactly written as supalipu (the li is bolded since it was written thrice instead of just twice)

WOOOOW

[solemn basin]

I had an idea after seeing the biang emoji on this server, so nimisin time
pijan - noodles, a noodle dish, biangbiang noodles, the sound or the act of noodle dough hitting a work surface (though especially biang biang noodle dough)
This last definition is basically copied from wikipedia. Apologizies if the tokiponization is off, I do not know the exact sounds of pinyin.

[wise perch]

(now make this a nimisin)

[wise perch]

of or relating to people

[solemn basin]

Oh, the nimisin for this is the biangbiang noodle charater with a line above it

[wise perch]

sitelen pona anu seme

[solemn basin]

Of course, more defenitions are always better

[wise perch]

hmm sounds easy to draw

li pana e sitelen biang

li pilin pakala

what the actual kijetesantakalu i thought people said this was difficult

(/s)

[solemn basin]

Don't worry, even the computer won't be able to render it very well in a font

[wise perch]

OHHH THAT KIND OF LINE

i thought you meant a horizontal bar

like this:

[solemn basin]

a, mi pakala, mi o toki pona

[wise perch]

wait what you can toki inli

sina wile e ni anu seme: mi toki pona taso

[solemn basin]

oh, either is fine. I just weirdly wanted to write in toki pona for that for some reason.

[wise perch]

sona

[solemn basin]

mi o toki pona was I should speak better

I now recognize the confusion

[wise perch]

didnt realize you meant toki pona as in toki that is pona instead of toki pona (lexicalized)

[wise perch]

all good i recognized it too

[wise perch]

but if there's an exclamation radical

then this must be an exclamation

like a or kin

[solemn basin]

Oh, that's true

[wise perch]

an exclamation referring to noodles

[solemn basin]

Exactly

It will also convey a feeling of loving noodles (especially biang biang noodles) very much

The new updated definition:

pijan - noodles, a noodle dish, biangbiang noodles, the sound or the act of noodle dough hitting a work surface (though especially biang biang noodle dough), an exclamation refering to noodles or loving noodles, loving noodles, the feeling of loving noodles

There ought to be as many meanings as radicals or strokes of the biang character

[wise perch]

removing a stroke changes the meaning subtly

and if you hide a kijetesantakalu in it you win life

[obtuse geyser]

True

and the comments (when duolingo forums were still open) were all like "its mister ed!"

one even went as far as rtanslating like a theme song or smth

[viral night]

I only know of the show because my favorite band made a song called Mr Klaw, and the lyrics are "a claw is a claw and nobody has seen a talking claw" and etc., following the rest of the theme song's lyrics

just with "Klaw" instead of Ed
